I placed an order but it hasn’t been dispatched, will this still be sent?

Unfortunately, any orders placed before 2^nd June 2022 are with ‘Bio-Medical Research Ltd’.  As a result of the liquidation, some placed orders were not dispatched.  For unreceived orders, your bank/credit card company may be able to help you claim a refund.  You may also make a claim to the liquidator to become an unsecured creditor by following the instructions below.

I want to return an order placed before 2^nd June, what can I do? OR I returned a parcel but never received a refund
